Red lentils

Yes, the first things that comes to mind is that my poor lentils are completely broken. I’ve cooked them too much, I didn’t know that the red lentils were the quickest to cook and that only 15mn was sufficient. Nevertheless, the taste was really good and that’s the main thing. I would have loved the picture to be more beautiful if the lentils where full 🙂

I actually bought these lentils this summer when I was in Menorca. The color was so beautiful that I couldn’t resist 🙂

Many people don’t like lentils but if it’s well cooked, it is really good to my point of view. I love a lentils meal, but better warm for me that in salads.

What do you need?

xg of red lentils (or coral)

120g of bacon lardons

2 carrots

2 tomatoes

1 shallot

1 garlic clove

water

20cl of white wine

Laurel, salt, black pepper

Stir the bacon without adding any oil as it will be sufficiently greasy, add the shallots that you will previously cut and the tomatoes

Add the 2 carrots cut in big chunk and the garlic clove

Add the white wine and stir in for a few minutes

Add the lentils (you can previously clean them with water, I personally don’t always do it) and the laurel, salt, black pepper

Cook for 12-15mn at very low fire to not destroy the lentils like I did 🙂
